This was a great hike and a good group to share this experience with. I really enjoyed this trip and our lead for the hike made us feel comfortable and confident.

Good tour

Really good experience, Carlos and Alan were excellent guides. Wasn't too difficult but the altitude made it a bit harder.

A landscape of wonders in the volcanic mountains

There isn’t enough I can say on this review of how good Alan was. He looked after us from the very beginning of the tour before we even got on the shuttle. During the hike, he stopped and took breaks as often as needed for us, he gave us great knowledge on the landscape and the volcanoes were astounding! Once we had our lunch, we went to a local area where he fed a stray dog, and gave us the recommendations of food. Once we got back, he got in contact with our driver and stayed with us until our hotel picked us up, when he didn’t have to! He is a true figure of what a tour guide should be.

Save your money, it is an overpriced simple hike

Save your money and skip and overpriced hike. I am a very experienced hiker that has hiked in many places of the world, with and without guide. I was looking for 3 things with this hike: seeing the volcanos, transportation to the national park (given that I was visiting Mexico without a car), and enjoying the hike. We didn't see the volcanos, because it was cloudy, like it is 90% of the time. The weather it is not the company's fault, of course, but they perfectly know that rain is likely (they recommend you to take extra clothes) and you will not see anything. The hike is a super-lame loop with 300m elevation gain and little attractive in itself. Our guide did not explain the park history, neither the flora or fauna, just kept asking if we were feeling altitude sickness every 5 min. They provide crappy hiking poles and a backpack with water and not very appealing food. In summary: you may end up overpaying for a very simple hike without seeing the volcanos and with a guide that does not try to make the experience more engaging.

Trekking Through The Volcanoes: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.

How much does Trekking Through The Volcanoes cost?

+

Prices start at $2400 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Trekking Through The Volcanoes take?

+

Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.

Is Trekking Through The Volcanoes worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 120 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Trekking Through The Volcanoes?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Trekking Through The Volcanoes suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Trekking Through The Volcanoes?

+

Around 42 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Trekking Through The Volcanoes start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Mexico City?

+

On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Frida Kahlo VIP [Museum Tickets Included] Walk, Markets & Churros, Local Foodie Adventure CDMX: Tacos & more with Sherpa Food Tours, Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Mexico City?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Mexico City?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
